Instructions
1. Watch lots of movie trailers and take notes. The best movie trailers pull in the viewers to the movie plot and characters without giving away too much. For drama's/indies look at haunting images and music in the trailer 'Requiem for a Dream'
2. Master the use of popular editing software like iMovie or Ulead movie studio. These packages contain storyboard, trimming and title functions, and provide access to quick and easy frame transitions.
3. Sketch a storyboard for your trailer. You can use editing software or do it the old fashioned way, with pen and paper. If you're clear with the concept at the outset, it'll save you time and fustration at the computer later.
4. Set a budget to make your movie trailer. Decide whether you can use existing footage and music. If you need original music or edited scenes for use in the movie trailer, figure the cost and stick to it.
